Hi, everybody! (Hi, Dr. Pho!)

H'okay, so. This is kind of long-winded, but only because it's two announcements crammed into one. Like a clearance sale! Or something.

Anyway, first off, this upcoming Monday, I'm starting what I've not-so-affectionately nicknamed the Summer Hell Semester. The long story short is that thanks to my internship, job, classes, and studying, anything resembling free time is about to completely go down the tubes; we're talking me pulling something like fifty- to sixty-hour weeks from now until the beginning of August. I'll still be posting my folks in occasionally, and if I'm needed for plot, all you've gotta do is say the word -- but appearances are going to be kind of rare as a whole, and I need to ask that you please, please don't expect me to slowtime. It sucks, but I just don't think I'll be able to carry threads over multiple days anymore. If it's plotty, sure; if it's one of those threads where things are getting really interesting but it's three AM and sleep needs to happen, sure. But I highly doubt I'll be able to make a habit of it.

This is going to affect [livejournal.com profile] flybywash, [livejournal.com profile] q_in_training, [livejournal.com profile] mercurialist, [livejournal.com profile] its_a_robe, and (deep breath as she fesses up to the sekrit pup) [livejournal.com profile] watchmakers_son.

And second...speaking of Wash.

Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, Wash will be retired on June 10th. I promise that I will post him in at least once between now and then, and the above statement re: no slowtimes won't apply to any threads in his last EP. He's had a good run, but his story -- the Milliways portion of it, at least -- is winding down, and it's just time for him to bow out. I'll be making a much longer and sappier back room post about it on the 10th, I'm sure, but for now: thank you so much to everyone who's made the last two and a half years (!) of playing him as awesome as they've been.

And I think that's it. Take care, all. :D

Lulz, sekrit.

ANYWAY -- sadface at Wash, we hardly got to thread like ever, but if I'm near a computer when he gets another EP I shall try to tag.

And good luck with summer. o_o

You are Sylar...oh-ho!! Now everything is clear!

And also wishing you the best in your RL.

*laughing*

You already know everything I could ever say here.

So consider it said, again.

*hugs muchly*

(And you will totally defeat this hell semester! You will.)

You will pwn this semester. You will.


(I shouldn't probably tell you that when working 80+ hour weeks one summer, I still managed to be online an awful lot.)


(I probably also shouldn't say that I'd been hoping to find out who played Sylar because, much as I haven't been playing lately, I'd die for Adam-Sylar. But that can wait until whenever.)

...wow

Dude, knew you rocked before...just wow.

Good luck this summer.

I do say, for your own peace of mind, that you can wrangle some free time in sixty hour work weeks. I've been managing to one degree or another for three years now.

It takes scheduling, but you WILL have some breathing space and a reasonable amount of sleep. Most weeks. (Not necessarily online time, but--time. Which is helpful, I've found.)

*hugs more*

Good luck! *hugs*

*Hugs Wash* He will be greatly missed.

I should send him a tinysaur for his last post. Yes. :D

Two tinysaurs!

*points and goes HA with the pointing and HA-ing of one who vaguely suspected Sylarness*

And we've talked about Wash some already, so I'll just reiterate that he's always been fantastic to play with, and I don't care what I have to do to get my hands on a working computer in the next few weeks, but we are having one last barthread, Y/Y?

*hugs lots*

See, now I'm getting all sniffly. *points up-comm re: anniversary*

You got me here, honeybunches. Two years ago.

Holy shit.

We'll get Mal and Wash drunk. Or something.

Spotting Wash here, just about a year ago, was what got me interested in Milliways; reading through his memories got me hooked, and eventually led to me apping [livejournal.com profile] mend_and_defend. I'm sad to see Wash go, but he's had a hell of a run. Thanks for playing him, and for continuing to play in general.

*hugs Wash* Oh crud! I'd love for there to be Wash-Sariel threadness at some point before June; two pilots comparing notes, and such.

And while I'm at it, because RL can be a royal pain in the *cough* bitmap, *hugs you* too.

And holy cow, you're Wash *and* Sylar? Oh, my goodness. *salutes*

Oh dear. I just realized re: my last comment that that? is a lot of *ing. Oops?

What [livejournal.com profile] leeshajoy said, actually, besides the fact that I didn't app [livejournal.com profile] mend_and_defend. Good luck with your semester!

[identity profile] precocioustilda.livejournal.com 2007-05-10 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Duuuuuuuuuuuude. I'll reiterate what others have said here: Sylar AND Wash? You rock. You rock so much. Words do not suffice describe the rockingness of you. :D

Much good luck on the Summer Hell Semester, and lots of hugs.

*just cackles* I am the winner of guessing based on syntax.

*and hugs* Best of luck, you.

YOU GET CHEERING HIRO ICON.

OH MY GOD, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I'VE BEEN CHATTING AMIABLY WITH WASH-MUN THIS WHOLE TIME? THE FREAKIN' WASH MUN!?!?

I feel like one of those people who sits down at a restaurant and realizes that the guy across from them's a celebrity halfway through the meal! HOLY SHIT.
